The area I work at has an employee shovel race at the end of the day on Sunday. They are pretty comical. The most comical was a newbie who hit a lip and became airbound. There the kid was, flapping his arms and kicking his legs mid air as if trying to fly away. Fortunately, there was no injury.

At Ragged, a small kid on a snow board caught his edge and fell on his face.

Both his boots popped off his feet.

He cut his lip, and started crying right away.

Worst of all, he had two different color socks on.

It's easy to find humor in others misfortunes!

Tonight at Wawa, with all of the interesting conditions, there were MANY funny wipeouts. I only saw one injury and it appeared to be minor.

Like I was riding up the Aerial tram at Big Sky and I saw some like dude tumbling down Chute 2 going head over heels. Like I think the dudes like dead or something. It was like Man look at that dude tumbling down the the mountain man.

hmmm...I was involved in two comical ski-related mishaps.

First time on skis...Poma Lift. I was getting cocky after a few times up the hill...started veering side to side like water skiing. Fell, refused to let go (at first). There's a photo of me somewhere covered in snow from that event.

Second event...skiing the side of a trail to stay in fresh(er) snow. Get caught up on that side due to skier traffic...pick up speed...went under a snow gun (with two employees adjusting its direction). Skis "STICK". I came right out of both skis and did a perfect 270 head over heals...made a nice dent in the new snow with my butt. Employees were quite subdued. I didn't hear them laugh. They didn't offer to help either...just kept on with their task. I thought it was pretty funny. I avoid snow guns now like a cow avoids an electric fence.
